Bastrop Tilt Wall Repair
Tilt-wall repairs in Bastrop combined high-strength mortar replacement with a defined structural epoxy injection sequence.
Delta Structural Technology completed concrete repair on a tilt-wall project in Bastrop for Keystone Concrete Placement. The repair scope addressed both spalled concrete and cracking, using distinct methods for the two conditions. Local replacement mortar addressed lost concrete, while port-injected structural epoxy provided the proposed treatment for cracks within the panel.

Project challenge
A tilt-wall repair can involve both an exposed surface defect and a crack extending into or through the member. The Bastrop scope made that distinction explicit. Spalled material required removal and replacement, while cracks needed preparation and an injection route. Where a crack passed fully through the panel, the opposite face also required attention to keep injection material within the repair.
Project approach
Delta’s proposed sequence began by removing spalled concrete and replacing it with high-strength repair mortar. For cracks, the scope called for preparation and cleaning as needed, drilling and setting injection ports, and introducing structural epoxy. Back-side paste was specified for fully penetrated cracks to prevent push-through. After cure, residual material would be cleaned from the surface. The work thus paired local concrete replacement with a separately defined crack-treatment sequence.
Delivery and coordination
Access to the repair areas and removal of obstructions were contractor coordination items, along with water for mixing and a staging area. Testing and inspection, where required, were identified as separate responsibilities. These arrangements mattered because the panel surfaces, crack routes, and mortar repair areas all needed to remain accessible through preparation, application, and cure.
Project significance
The Bastrop project illustrates a focused approach to tilt-wall repair: identify the type of defect and match it with a specific treatment. Combining concrete replacement with controlled epoxy injection addresses different aspects of the panel condition while keeping the repair scope clear enough to execute and inspect.
